It’s easy to see why everyone (including A-listers) want to copy Meghan Markle’s elegant and chic style — including her sneakers.

Since Meghan Markle donned a pair of Vejas while trekking across Australia back in 2018, the comfy, fair-trade shoe brand has found its way into a ton of Hollywood closets. Stars like Reese Witherspoon, Katie Holmes, and Emily Ratajkowski are just a few of the celebs who have recently been spotted in the sneakers, which are available on Amazon, Nordstrom, and Anthropologie.

It’s no surprise that Meghan, a fan of sustainable fashion, loves the French brand, which utilizes ethically-minded production methods, organically farmed materials, and leather tanned with vegetables. The company produces vegan leather shoes, too.

Katie Holmes and Emily Ratajokowski are some of Veja’s newest fans. Both recently wore styles from the brand while out and about in New York City. Holmes paired hers with jeans and a camel coat, while Ratajokowski opted for a more dressed-up ensemble, including trousers, a crop top, and trench coat.

Reese Witherspoon is also a Veja sneaker collector, owning several pairs, including the white Esplar kicks with black details, which she tends to wear with cropped jeans and dark sweaters.

Thanks in part to Meghan, the French brand is now popping up all over the U.S. Shoppers can snag styles at various retailers (listed above) or browse some of its most popular sneakers currently in stock below. We’re sure even more famous faces are currently adding these sustainable sneakers to their carts, too.

Are we heading for World War Three? Experts give their verdicts
In a world that has grown more dangerous in recent years, the nightmare scenario of a Third World War is in the public consciousness. Earlier this year, UK Defence Secretary Grant Shapps warned the world could be engulfed by wars involving China, Russia, North Korea and Iran in the next five years, and said we are moving "from a post-war to pre-war world". The relief felt at the end of the Cold War in the late '80s has been replaced with increasing alarm at Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and there is outcry at the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.

Putin tells the Middle East to pull back from a catastrophic clash
MOSCOW/DUBAI (Reuters) -Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday urged all sides in the Middle East to refrain from action that would trigger a new confrontation which he warned would be fraught with catastrophic consequences for the region, the Kremlin said. Putin, who has forged much closer ties with the Islamic Republic since sending troops into Ukraine in 2022, spoke to Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi by phone about what the Kremlin called "retaliatory measures taken by Iran." Iran launched drones and missiles at Israel late on Saturday in retaliation for an Israeli strike on its Damascus consulate on April 1 that killed seven officers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, including two senior commanders.
